Hoff’s Pie Filling Cookies

Hoff’s Pie Filling Cookies
Yields: about 1 1/2 dozen
dairy-free, egg-free, oil-free, soy-free, gluten-free


Ingredients:

• 20 oz. can Crushed Pineapple in Juice
• 2 1/2 cups Whole Oats
• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 1 tbsp. Baking Powder 
• 1 tsp. Sea Salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Meanwhile, blend all dry ingredients, using a high speed blender, until a flour-like consistency is reached
3. Stir in Pineapple to incorporate
4. Drop spoonfuls onto a non-stick cookie sheet or parchment paper lined cookie sheet
5. Optional: top each cookie with Oat flakes
6. Bake for 20 minutes

Hoff Thoughts:  If fat is not a concern, mix in 1/2 cup Macadamia nut pieces along with the Pineapple.  I called these Fruit Cookies, because while experimenting, I found that just about any pie filling worked in place of the Pineapple -  Strawberry, Blueberry, etc.

6. Mix riced Potatoes with Nutritional Yeast, Mustard, seasonings & splash of Milk, not too much, dryer Potatoes will result in crisper Puffs
7. Chill Potatoes in the fridge, they need to be cold & stiff
8. Form Potatoes into golf ball sized shapes, I use a spring triggered scooper (no idea it's real name)
9. Place balls on a silicone lined baking sheet or in a silicone muffin tray
10. Air fry or bake at 450 degrees for 20 -25 minutes
    

Hoff Thoughts: I use Yukon Gold Potatoes because they naturally have a rich, buttery flavor and therefore additional fake butter is not needed. 

Lazy Girl's Potatoes

Recently I came across a GENIUS kitchen hack and I just have to share it with you!


You will need:

• 1 can of sliced Potatoes
• 1 Cuisinart Griddle

1. Drain & rinse the Potatoes
2. Lay Potato slices onto to grille
3. Close lid and cook at 450 degrees until desired doneness is achieved (start checking around 10 minutes)
4. Carefully remove & Eat!

This does require some organizational skills in order to get one full can of Potatoes onto one griddle. (You can do it!)

One can really only yields a light snack for two people.  I really could eat an entire can myself (even as a side dish to a main meal), but I fear one can would cool off before a second can would be ready. 

I really like this idea, however, because it eliminates the prep time/utensils needed to create sliced Potatoes.  I also found the end product to be light and crispy on the outside, but creamy on the inside.
